    Registration Link 

    This two-day course is designed as a complete temporal bone dissection course for the registrar or fellow in training or as an update for the practicing otolaryngologist. It will be run out of the fully equipped James Cook University Anatomy Facility at the Smithfield campus in Cairns, Far North Queensland. The course will provide an update in Otology, Neurotology and Lateral skull base surgery through a lecture series provided by Queensland’s leading Otologists and Skull base surgeons. It aims also to improve the surgical skill of participants through a series of dissection exercises.

    Upon completion of the course, participants will understand clinical decision making and will have improved temporal bone dissection skills so as to avoid unnecessary complications. The course provides accreditation of ASONHS set training requirements on completion of the established temporal bone exercises for the training registrar. The course will provide two complete cadaveric temporal bones for dissection covering a range of exercises including:

    ● Tympanoplasty

    ● Ossicular reconstruction

    ● Meatoplasty

    ● Intact canal wall mastoidectomy

    ● Canal wall down mastoidectomy

    ● Cochlear Implantation

    ● Facial nerve decompression

    ● Translabyrinthine approach to internal auditory canal

    ● Middle cranial fossa and lateral approaches to the temporal bone

     

    Emphasis will be placed on providing the surgeon with a conceptual understanding of the three-dimensional temporal bone anatomy. The course ensures intensive hands-on dissection under faculty supervision for six hours each day with supportive teaching.
